Meet Ellyn!

I have
been doing Kettle Bells on and off over the past couple of years. This is
my story….

I remember the first
two weeks when I started kettle bells and just could not believe how SORE I
was. I think every muscle group hurt BUT with going to the class
consistently each week and stretching just a little before and after class made
most of the aches go away. Initially, I was afraid to try the more
difficult moves because of previous injuries to my shoulder, knee and foot but
Marty and I came up with a plan. I spoke with him about my concerns and
he helped me modify my work-out to meet MY needs. I know what
exercises to do if I have to modify and I still get a great work-out just like
everyone else! Marty has been such a wonderful coach and inspiration to
me. His encouragement to do my best keeps me going!! Also, on a
more personal note… I was diagnosed with Type II Diabetes three years
ago. Initially I was on medication until I started exercising and taking
better control of my diet. I have not been on medication for over two
years now and the doctor attributes most of this to working out with kettle
bells. Recently had blood work drawn and everything that had been
high or borderline came back normal. I could not believe it! My
Diabetes is completely under control and all levels are great! Many
thanks to Marty and Scott to helping me be the best I can be!
